(W) Takehiko Inoue (A/CA) Takehiko
Inoue
Musashi
endeavors to take on sword master Yagyû Sekishûsai, a man
recognized by many to be the greatest swordsman of his time. Little
does he know that going against a man of such depth and proportion
means much more than just killing a seemingly helpless old man in
his sleep.
"When Takehiko Inoue started his
career as an artist's assistant, he never dreamed that he would
eventually become one of the most recognizable names in the world
of manga, with series selling a combined 156+ million volumes
worldwide. Widely known for his sports-related
titles (REAL, Slam Dunk) it is his still-ongoing series Vagabond- a
fictional recounting of the life of famed samurai Miyamoto Musashi-
that has garnered him the most critical
acclaim."
